How the cool kids roll…..a year long streak on Nerdle 😂

Vickie’s selfie today at @MTWnhs - thank you to all in ophthalmology for your continued wonderful care, now onwards to her surgery in 4-6 months time. Nowhere I’d trust more with my biggest precious one!

My 8 months in digital has come to an end - it’s been a steep learning curve and I’m so grateful for all the fab people I’ve worked with. Now back to community care equipped with a huge amount of insight about all things digital but ready for the challenges of community pathways!
